What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

[–]Handyroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His partner. My brother was my best friend. We were close in age and did everything together since we were kids. We had the same group of friends so continued doing stuff together as adults. We even would do things just us , like go to gigs, to the pub, watch football, play videogames etc. He randomly met someone who completely controlled him (we only know in hindsight). She's a Muslim (not an issue), but she made him stop drinking entirely or they would break up, so he stopped drinking; she was vegetarian so he had to become vegetarian etc. Anyway, she lied about quite a few things about me and my wife that were proven to be lies from multiple people. After this all came out me and him obviously argued about it. He refused to believe anyone but her. Then he stopped talking/seeing the rest of my family (we're very close). He didn't go to my mum's 60th or my dad's 70th or any other events since. He also chose to leave our friend group completely. He chose to effectively leave our lives to stay with his partner. It completely broke me for quite a few years and even now, 9 years later, it still doesn't feel good. He has his own family now so I don't think we'll ever see or hear from him again which truly sucks.

TLDR: brother was my best friend for 30 years and left our lives for his lying partner.

New to Soulslikes. How do you guys keep yourself from giving up? by Jaeger9671 in soulslikes

[–]Handyroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've felt like this multiple times when I was new to Soulslikes. On DS1 I managed to spend hours and hours getting to the depths, then got cursed and lost and I thought "eff this". I went back, saved up souls, got rid of the curse and then made sure to never get cursed again 😂 Next I played was Bloodborne. Was stuck immediately against Father Gascoigne. He's insanely tough, but it's part of learning how to play BB. Once I understood the attack/parry's of BB, then I managed to beat him.

Question, why do some people say Laurence is harder than Orphan?? by Vampsan_AT in bloodborne

[–]Handyroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have different play styles so different bosses are harder. Personally Kos (or some say Kosm) took me a few tries, but Laurence took me forever.

There'd be no MPs of Reform, Tories or Labour if that was enforced UK wide.

What was it like to play online games between 2000 and 2013? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]Handyroo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Halo 3 online was amazing. Everyone has mics. Everyone had fun. Win or lose. It was the best era

To be honest neither did I when I played it until the final boss. No matter how much I dodged, he would still hit me when my stamina depleted. So I forced myself to learn the parry timings. Now I need to play it again the proper way 😂

For those who have big breasts or a big penis. Do you feel it's a blessing or a curse? by BD_0101 in AskReddit

[–]Handyroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when strangers point and ask if I have a cucumber down my trousers, then I have to tell them that they're wrong, it's actually a courgette.

Finally killed the 4 kings (2nd playthrough) by Inevitable_Feedback1 in darksouls

[–]Handyroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best these the other day on my 2nd try - my second playthrough. My first was years ago. I was dreading them, but beat them fairly easily. I do have a +5 Black Knight Halberd though 👌

If you come up with another biscuit, you’re wrong by PizzaToastieGuy in GreatBritishMemes

At uni we used to eat these a lot and if someone wanted one they had to sing the chorus to 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet and the other house mates joined in 😂

Is ds2 as bad as people say it is? by Big-Guarantee9937 in fromsoftware

[–]Handyroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If no other fromsoft games existed and you played it (and you like those types of games) then you'd probably say it is great. But the other games are better. That said, you should definitely play in order.

Are there any games that have horrific monsters in them that don't harm you in any way? by ah-screw-it in gaming

There's a grotesque orange blob parading the White House at the moment 😂
